Mahogany mantel with fleur de lis carvings

This mantel is from a late 1800's mansion. It has beautiful detail including fleur de lis on each side. The wood is in good condition underneath the paint. There is a 'cut out' on the mantel shelf on the back portion, likely for the chimney.
This would need refinishing. There is a gouge in the wood in front, a few small chips here and there, and the center edge of the shelf would need repair.
